My cat got out once and I hadn't seen him for at least 2 months. One day I was watching tv and had my window open for fresh air. Suddenly I hear a faint meow... I was in disbelief thinking "no way its him". I go to look outside and sure enough there he is. Omg I was so happy to see him healthy and of course alive.

[@robino12344]

Oh my goodness? That is crazy.

[@robino12344]

Do you think someone else fed him? That’s great he returned.

[@BigUriel]

@@robino12344 Cats can be surprisingly good at surviving on their own, especialy if they are used to going outside. As long as you don't live in a rural area with large predators that might get them, and as long as they don't get hit by a car (which is probably the number one reason most disappear in populated areas), they generally do a pretty good job at surviving on rats and birds. This is why cats have been devastating to local fauna in some places, to the point of driving many bird species to extinction.

seems pretty common with country homes. they experience loss pretty frequently, like pets getting run over or a cow or horse getting sick. maybe they just get used to it and move on faster. (from my 5 years living on a farm) and I'm not saying that's a good trait to have, either

So sorry for your tragic life event at only 29 yrs old, but you had the determination to live and walk again. I realize how the profoundly your disabilities have affected and restricted your life. I hope you do have interests and people that give your joy, purpose and meaning in life. Your sharing of a personal pain reminds us " more able people" we should be grateful while being more compassionate to those who suffer. I have a miniscule issue compared to your problem. I can no longer hike, walk several miles or stand in long lines due to a fall in a ditch at night that resulted in chronic nerve damage in the ankle of my foot and limited flexion. I have a deeper understanding and compassion for people with disabilities. Keep well in mind and spirit. Blessings to you.

It is great there are so many options out there and sometimes a little creativity helps. Friends definitely help. I feel that when pain is taking from you there is nothing mini about that. I would go back and tell my less pain self to talk to a therapist and more importantly make sure to see a doctor about it. If something feels wrong tell them. My cancer, that began just below my neck, started with pain in my hip and lower back. I just needed the right test among erroneous prognoses. I wanted to give up. I would not be here if I did. It scares me how easy it would have been. Things like fibromyalgia have better outcomes when treated early. Well, hot tubs help. Hot water bottles or pads help too like those thermacare pads.

You can get yourself cured of cancer with ormus. Make a HHO gas generator for your HHP flame outlet. Nanocoat one copper plate with the flame, slowly and gently. If you have silver, nanocoat it as well. Else, zinc plate will do. Filled a tank with distilled water. Place two plates in it. Connect them with nanocoated copper wires as well. Finally, bubble the distilled water with high purity high concentration ozone from two of the sides perpendicular to the plates. Ormus will form at the center and corrosion of the plates will occur. There is way too much suppressed science since the beginning. I will talk about free energy if you want as well.

I can't imagine how terrified that poor kitten must've been out in the snow by himself, especially during the storm. It's amazing Hytch survived days of cold with nothing to eat and little water (snow would have lowered his body temperature so he can't have eaten much snow or he'd have had hypothermia). You can hear he was very hoarse, as a result of him crying for help for days and not getting enough water. It was a miracle he survived. They're obviously meant to be together.

Ive grown up with cat's had at least 1 at all points in my life, and i loved them all. I miss my first tho. Found him climbing on the back screen door, as a little jet black kitten. No mom or siblings in sight, and think she was hideing under the porch. She was the best and so smart. She got io enjoy the farm and inside. She would sit in the window to see me get on and off the bus, watch TV with us at night, take care of me when i was sick, and just the best mama. She lived a very long life and spots of her jet black fur turned grey before the end.

[@celestiafanforever]

Cats have a way at finding their person. 12 years ago when I was only 7 years old my older sister left a man who wasn't good to her or to his own cat, she left him and not only that but she took his cat, he didn't even care. Since day 1 I did everything I could to help him get better. He was sick, had wounds all over him from stress licking, but most of all he had a a fear of men. I didn't blame him for having that fear. It took one vet visit to find out what was making him so sick, he had a food allergy to Meow mix. Over time he got better, his wounds healed after realizing that he was safe now, with knowing that he was safe his fear of men away. However that's was just part of the past. My parents didn't want him, they threatened to take him to the shelter and leave him there. Me being 7 years old and having watched countless episodes of animal rescue shows on animal planet I knew that he wasn't gonna get out of there alive. So I fought my parents to let me keep him. In the end I won, but I didn't only win a cat I won a friend and Snare, my cat, got to keep his life. Over the next few years Snare lived an amazing life. He had a much better life then he had with his old owner. I was proud at the work I had done, I saved him and had gained a best friend and one heck of a fur-baby. 12/23/2020 the day before Christmas at the old age of 14 years old I had to say goodbye to him. Me remembering how bad he looked in the past is a price I had to pay in order to save him, I was just a child who should have never seen an animal in such bad condition, but I would do it again if it means saving another life.

It is more possible, but as someone who is a purebred Siberian (only because if parents allergies is why he's from a breeder) the kitten does resemble my cat a bit in the build. The kitten may be mix breed, or the owners just really didn't like the kitten they got (somehow)

I'm sorry, but after only 3 days, the family got a replacement? When my kitten went missing when I was a kid, I cried every night. We have coyotes, snakes, wild dogs, everything dangerous where I live. After 2 weeks, Pete found his way home. I never gave up and neither did he. He lived to the ripe old age of 17 before dying of pneumonia after suffering from a stroke. Hopefully the family will take better care of their new kitten, like Max will take wonderful care of his new friend.

[@jimbevans5674]

I think it was lucky they did, because this gentleman needed this new friend in his life. It was meant to be.

[@katheryncox2815]

You might think this cruel, but if you've grown up in the Prairies you would understand why they assumed it was dead. Depending on where they are in Alberta a blizzard can drop the temperature down from -30 to -40. Snow can get up to several feet, and the flat terrain of the land means there is very little shelter. Then top of top of that you have Coyotes and wolfs hunting for big and small prey during the winter months. Probably one of the reasons he even survived was because of his white and grey fur. Anyways, knowing all that it makes sense that they thought the kitten was dead after 3 days of searching. As for the replacement, the little girl is only 2 years old and would have trouble understanding the concept of death. In her eyes it's like a favourite toy had been lost and she doesn't understand why they can't find it. Was probably recommended they get a new kitten to help her transition through those emotions. They probably would have taken the kitten back, but I assume they saw the bond it had with the man. The family will probably be more careful that the new kitten can get out and the man now has a new friend.

[@CaesiusX]

[@combatmaster]

@@katheryncox2815 I'm certain the family meant well, they wanted their kids to feel better. However, they just treated the animal like a toy, which can constitute a mentality that animals are akin to material objects. "Oh, it's lost. I'll get a new one. Oh, it's old, I'll get a new one." I've heard stories from all over the world, and witnessed cats and dogs who were lost for weeks, but managed to find their way home. They could have waited at least a month or two rather than 72 hours to say, "Okay, let's go get another kitten." That's making another mentality, the child begs + cries + tantrums= he/she gets what they want.
